    - Made my payment towards my new laptop
    -Managed to list an item on ebay - it took me ages as I haven't done it for quite a while, but should get quicker from now on!
    - Got to bed a bit earlier last night and slept better - have a lot more energy today!

    Am soooooooo pleased with myself - I collected my car from the garage, sorted my insurance, got an MOT cancellation, and Taxed it today - so that means i have now achieved one of my goals for the year :D:D :j:j
    To start the thread I thought it would be good to think over our goals for 2013 and share them :)

    Mine so far are:


    To reduce debt by £5000
    To start exercising 3 times a week
    To get rid of the boxes and boxes of stuff I have gathered up
    To join a sewing group
    To lose at least 1 stone in weight

    I will be adding some more as I think of them but those are my main ones for now! I look forward to hearing yours :)

    I knew there would be more lol:

    To do a business plan for my crafts and website
    To get my car back on the road First one done :D :beer:
    To sort my daily finances
    Keep House Clean and Tidy
    Get up to £1000 in my Zopa account
    Debt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:
    Savings £1203.16/£10,000******Mortgage to Zero: £52,579.46 to go
